1 OF SENECA FALLS, NEW YORK WINDOW VENTILATOR AND SCREEN Application filed November 12, 1928. Serial No. 318,797.

My invention relates to window ventilators and refers more particularly to a ventilator that is pivotally and adjustably adapted to deflect any desirable quantity of air inwardly into a room and is provided with a fixed "screen.

One object of my invention is to provide a combined adjustable window ventilator and screen.

Another object of my invention is to provide a combined screen and window ventilator that is adjustable in various positions and held positioned by the frictional engagement wth its integral parts.

I A further object of my invention is to provide a a combined window ventilator and screen that is of simple construction, cheap to manufacture and effective in use.

A still further object of my invention is to provide a simple device that does not obstruct the view through a window and which is adapted to be adjusted in various positions without having to manipulate holding devices to maintain it positioned.

It is well knownin the art that window ventilators have been made and utilized that can be adjusted in various positions and locked therein, but none contemplate combining a window screen and an adjustable ventilator in one simple device.

I attain these results by the means illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein similar parts are referred to by like numerals throughout the several views, in

I which Figure 1, is a fragmentary View, vertical 7 section, of a window and the combined screen and ventilator, illustrating the ventilator in the open position by the full lines and in the closed position by the dotted lines.

V Figure 2, is a plan of the right end plate with the glass holder removed.

'Figure 3, is a cross section, taken on lines 3-3 of Figure 2.

Figure 4,'isa developed view of the end plate that is adapted to be used for either the right or left plate.

Figure 5, is a plan of the glass holder.

Figure 6, is a developed view of the glass holder.

Figure 7 is a cross section, taken on lines 77 of Figure 5.

Figure 8, is a plan of the screen.

Figure 9, is a cross section, taken on line 9-9 of Figure 8.

The device 1, is shown applied to a window 2, with the inner sill 4, an outside sill 3, and a sash 5, which device consists of the right end plate 6, and left end plate 7, each of which is provided with a glass holding element 8, pivoted at 9, said elements 8, adapted to slide behind and frictionally engage with the bent over portion 10, which serve to hold the elements 8 and the glass 11, positioned.

These side plates 6 and 7, are provided with screwholes 12 and 13, for the screws 14 and 15, which hold the end plates to the window frame and on the top 16, of these end plates the screen 17 is fixed and on the bottom of the end plates 21 flexible extension 18, is provided to prevent air leakage.

The glass holding element 8, is formed as shown in Figure 7 so that the edges 19 and 20, hold the glass 11, firmly therein and the inner edges 21 and 22, of the end plates 6 and 7, extend inwardly as shown by 23, to prevent the element 8, and the glass 11, from falling out of the end plates.

The screen 24, may be made in one piece or in two pieces 25 and 26, and after adjusting may be maintained in a fixed position by means of the lugs 27, 28 and 29, as shown in Figures 8 and 9.

Having thus described and illustrated the preferred embodiment of my invention, I do not wish to limit myself to the exact construction or arrangement of parts shown, sinceit is evident that modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit of the invention or scope of the claim.

I claim V Ina window Ventilator, a pair of wedge shaped end plates with downwardly turned upper portions and an inwardly turned side portion, each of said plates adapted to be fixed to a window frame, said plates pivotaily carrying an adjustable, U-shaped pivoted glass holding element and a screen with depending side and end portions adapted to fit over the top thereof.
